Hello everybody, and welcome back to another DFS Karma Game Theory article. Today there are a couple things to monitor regarding injuries and COVID-19 protocols, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled. For injury news, please make sure to check our injury article. This is a nicely sized slate with a bit of injury news, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled. I’ll be going with a different style of Game Theory today, so let’s see if you guys like this one. It’s shorter, straight to the point, and highlights my top plays.

  • Point Guards: De’Aaron Fox, LaMelo Ball, Damian Lillard and Kyle Lowry highlight my top plays on the upper end of the spectrum. Lowry is very very cheap on DraftKings at only $7,000. He’s probably gonna find his way into my main cash build there. On FanDuel, I think I’ll either go with a combination of the two high/mid tiers, or go and pay down with Dennis Schroder. Also, Saben Lee is a MUST play on DraftKings, and a fantastic play on FanDuel. I’m keeping my player pool tight to these 6 guys on both sites tonight.
  • Shooting Guards: Slim pickings yesterday, but pretty nice today. Locking in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on both sites, especially on FanDuel. On DraftKings he is pretty expensive to be honest. However, with the value there I don’t find it hard to fit him in. Josh Jackson, Fred VanVleet and Norman Powell are all in my player pool tonight and I want to keep my options limited to these 4 today. The Raptors all get a bump from Pascal Siakam’s absence. 
  • Small Forwards:  Lebron James, OG Anunoby, Gordon Hayward, Mikal Bridges are my top SFs today. With Siakam out, I am going to bump OG Anunoby to cash and will have plenty of shares there.
  • Power Forwards: Jerami Grant, Isaiah Roby, PJ Washington, Domas Sabonis, Brandon Clarke (if Valanciunas out). It is super tough deciding between Grant/Roby/Washington today for cash games. I like any of these 3 for cash, but you have to make a stance here. I like the upside all three present for all formats.
  • Centers: Another absolutely loaded spot. Plumlee, Biyombo, Ayton, and Wendell Carter are all fantastic plays in any format. If you want to get a little spicey with it, Marc Gasol or Enes Kanter will be very low owned and they are in smash spots as well.

MY CORE 3 for CASH: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Saben Lee (DK), OG Anunoby (FD) and Isaiah Roby

MY CORE 3 for GPP: Damian Lillard, PJ Washington, Josh Jackson 

That is all for today’s article! I appreciate you guys all for reading and as always, it’s been your boy Tristan aka SrirachaDFS, and I’m out, peace!
